Israel could have decided to not occupy Palestinian goddamn land
they literally gave Gaza back
palestinians could have created a paradise for themselves, working with Egypt and setting up economic trade routes and business
instead they armed themselves working with your friends in iran, then proceeded to oct 7th
There is 2 millions Palestinians already in Jordan
Cool, call your friends in Iran, Qatar, UAE, Dubai, or any other trillion dollar petrostate and they can take them, problem solved, no more terrorist attacks on Israel and palestinians can be free and happy
they literally gave gaza back, palestinians could have created a paradise for themselves, working with Egypt and setting up economic trade routes and business

now they are crying because they are losing the war while their government and soldiers hides behind women and children, in schools and hospitals
they were given a chance many other countries and people’s never got and blew it by electing islamic state then attacking israel (and egypt as well how could i forget!)
so now all walls are closed and nobody wants them, except western hippies
deal with it
sure i can condemn them raping anyone however it was the palestinians who elected hamas, it was palestinians who cheered for them as dead girls were paraded through the town, and last polls i saw show hamas still have significant support of the population with any palestinian resistance against hamas resulting in predictable torture and death because hamas are islamic jihadi’s at their core
so excuse me and the rest of the world who have no interest in supporting them in any way
i’m going to sleep now, night night 😴
that’s ok, they can call egypt, libya, tunisia, algeria, qatar, dubai, saudi arabia, uae, jordan or others in the area for support, oh right, for some reason all the countries closest are busy building soccer stadium’s
Palestinians has the right to self defence against occupation.
that definitely explains why they beheaded that gardener with a rake and gang raped that girl while chanting alluh ackbar
you got some special friends
why haven’t the plo held elections in the west bank in years? hint: they are worried a certain militant islamic party will get elected
why you support israel when they been killing palestinians
because the palestinians were dumb enough to continue to fight a power much stronger than them, the oct 7th genocide attempt might be the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen but a long continuation of their attempts to genocide israel
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter
The original Charter identified Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and described its members to be god-fearing Muslims raising the banner of Jihad (armed struggle) in “the face of the oppressors.” The charter defines the struggle to be against the Jews and calls for the eventual creation of an Islamic Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine, and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel.[4][5][6] The charter has been criticized for its use of antisemitic language,[7][8] which some commentators have characterized as incitement to genocide.[9][10]
—-
there are many other hundreds of millions of people who have lost their homeland and resettled or worked and integrated with the host, this is human history but hamas n co want to play the jihad game, well all major arab nations including the trillion dollar petro-states want nothing to do with it (and neither do i)
plenty of money for ronaldo though

June 16: Cancellation of convoy journey
On June 16, organisers announced that they had cancelled the convoy’s journey to Rafah, after being blocked by authorities in eastern Libya. According to Al Jazeera Arabic, coordinators stated that “eastern Libyan forces insisted on preventing the convoy from crossing into Sirte”, citing lack of permission to cross Libya to reach Egypt.[18] According to organisers, 15 participants had been detained in total, including 11 Libyans.[2]

1·6 days agoThey will say something like solar went from 600gw to 1000 thats a 66% increase this year and coal only increased 40% except coal is 3600gw to 6400.
Hrmmmm, maybe these numbers are outdated? Based on this coal and gas are down:
In Q1 2025, solar generation rose 48% compared to the same period in 2024. Solar power reached 254 TWh, making up 10% of total electricity. This was the largest increase among all clean energy sources.
Coal-fired electricity dropped by 4%, falling to 1,421 TWh.
Gas-fired power also went down by 4%, reaching 67 TWh

are no where close to what is required to meet their climate goals
Which ones in particular are you talking about?
Trump signs executive order directing US withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement — again
https://apnews.com/article/trump-paris-agreement-climate-change-788907bb89fe307a964be757313cdfb0
China vowed on Tuesday to continue participating in two cornerstone multinational arrangements – the World Health Organization and Paris climate accord – after newly sworn-in US President Donald Trump ordered withdrawals from them.
What’s that saying? You hate it when the person you hate is doing good? I can’t remember what it is
I can’t fault them for what they’re doing at the moment, even if they are run by an evil dictatorship and do pollute the most
I’m not sure how european defense spending is relevant
It suggests there is money available in the bank to fund solar/wind/battery, but instead they are preparing for? something? what? who knows. France can make a fighter jet at home but not solar panels apparently.
Prehaps they would be made in a country with environmental and labour laws if governments legislated properly to prevent companies outsourcing manufacturing. However this doesnt absolve china. China isnt being forced at Gunpoint to produce these goods with low labour regulation and low environmental regulation.
You’re right, it doesn’t absolve china, and I avoid purchasing things from them wherever possible, my solar panels and EV were made in South Korea, my home battery was made in Germany, there are only a few things in my house made in China, most of them I got second hand but unfortunately there is no escaping the giant of manufacturing.
With that said it’s one thing for me to sit here and tut tut at China, but I realise I am not most people, the most clearest example is the extreme anti-ai, anti-billionaire bias on this platform, in real life most people don’t give a fuck, they love Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Apple etc, they can’t go a day without them.
So I consider myself a realist, if you want people to buy your stuff then you will need to make the conditions possible for them to WANT to buy your stuff, not out of some moral lecture and Europe isn’t doing that, if we look at energy prices:
Can someone actually point out to me where this comes from? … At the end of the day energy is a small % of EU household spending
I was looking at corporate/business energy use:
Major European companies are already moving to cut costs and retain their competitive edge.
For example, Thyssenkrupp, Germany’s largest steelmaker, said on Monday it would slash 11,000 jobs in its steel division by 2030, in a major corporate reshuffle.
Prices have since fallen but are still high compared to other countries.
A poll by Germany’s DIHK Chambers of Industry and Commerce of around 3,300 companies showed that 37% were considering cutting production or moving abroad, up from 31% last year and 16% in 2022.
For energy-intensive industrial firms some 45% of companies were mulling slashing output or relocation, the survey showed.
“The trust of the German economy in energy policy is severely damaged,” Achim Dercks, DIHK deputy chief executive said, adding that the government had not succeeded in providing companies with a perspective for reliable and affordable energy supply.
I’ve seen nothing to suggest energy prices in the EU are SO cheap that it’s worth moving manufacturing TO Europe, and this is what annoys me the most.
I’ve pointed this out before but they have an excellent report on the issues:
Then they put out this Competitive Compass:
https://commission.europa.eu/topics/eu-competitiveness/competitiveness-compass_en
But tbh every week in the EU it seems like they are chasing after some other goal.
This would be great, it would have been greater 10 years ago.
Agreed
According to a lengthy report by the New York Times, Trump’s statement that he would take as long as two weeks to decide on whether to strike Iran — because of a “substantial” chance for diplomacy — was always merely a calculated misdirection. At around 5 p.m. on Friday June 20, just a few hours after the E3 talks in Geneva concluded, Trump ordered the bombers into the air, the newspaper reported.

It’s pretty clear the EU is too bloated governance wise to quickly respond to just about anything
france was right all along
why do you ask this question knowing anyone who answers you will get a ban?
oh this is just their latest excuse to crack down on their own citizens
for more history see everything after women life freedom protests
if you’re not a fan of seeing men dangling from the back of tow trucks don’t look
that sounds about right for Iran, they’ve been saying this for years
IRGC: ISRAEL YOU BETTER NOT HURT US OR WE’LL KILL MORE OF OUR OWN CITIZENS!!!1
China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables.
I don’t believe this:
https://ember-energy.org/countries-and-regions/china/
In 2024, China approved 66.7GW of new coal-fired capacity, started construction on 94.5GW of coal power projects
Even if you add these 2 together and pretend they were finished the same year it’s not even close to:
China’s renewable energy sector made remarkable progress in 2024, adding 356 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar capacity
They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set.
I don’t believe this is true either unless you are referring to some other targets?
In 2020, China set a goal to install at least 1,200 gigawatts (GW) of solar and wind power by 2030. By the end of 2024, China had already surpassed this target, reaching this milestone 6 years ahead of schedule. This was made possible by aggressive investments, government policies, and a surge in solar and wind installations.
China’s solar capacity grew by an incredible 45.2% in 2024, adding 277 GW. Wind capacity also saw a strong increase of 18%, with an additional 80 GW installed. Overall, total power generation capacity rose by 14.6% in 2024, driven mainly by renewables.
China is only %27 renewables while the EU is 47%.
Don’t worry, just like everything else I’m sure that will flip in the future
Europe has plenty of money apparently to suddenly:
NATO leaders on Wednesday confirmed their commitment to more than double defence spending by 2035 banding words like “crucial”, “momentous” and “quantum leap”
Just why does it take an emergency to make some proper progress:
Global energy storage owner-operator BW ESS and Spanish energy storage developer Ibersun say a new joint venture is intended to build eight four-hour battery projects across the country, with a combined capacity of 2.2 GW, 8.8 GWh.
Where will the batteries be made I wonder?
On top of this energy prices in the EU are ridiculous and for some reason they still can’t get off the gas, which leads to an unreal point of France giving more money to Russia for gas than in aid to Ukraine, so they have high energy prices and they’re funding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and their companies and manufacturing are leaving them… to go to China…

But I appreciate your scepticism (I gave your post an upvote because China does sometimes get a little bit too much credit), they are the worlds top producer of CO2 by FAR but I do want to address
Greenwashing
This is something I’ve wanted for a while:
It requires EU importers to pay a levy corresponding to the embedded carbon emissions in 303 emission-intensive products
I’ve long disliked that places like the EU and the rest of the west can export their dirty manufacturing over to China where companies take advantage of lax or no environmental regulations, it’s a false economy and makes the west look a whole lot greener and cleaner than it would if we were manufacturing what we used back at home

edit: boy I sure do love to procrastinate and talk about energy and co2 instead of studying :|
🤔 it was made into fancy graphs by the guy on Bluesky but the data was from ember-energy.org who are well known for supplying renewable stats
you’re definitely building a decent amount of renewables:

I’m struggling to find good data centre power stats in the USA, everything is doomer articles talking about how AI could potentially maybe completely destroy the USA as it gobbles up the entire power grid
